Making Time for Nature

Look with your heart and you’ll find the wonder of earth magic in every natural creation

I so love transient art, this vibrant, frozen masterpiece, had me spellbound. One minute its here – vibrant and alive, then suddenly the leaves escape the grasp of the clear ice, as the low winter sun’s energy melts its frozen state. So many lessons to be learned from nature.

How much time do we have?

If we, as adults, cannot make time to just be…to see, hear, smell, touch, taste and appreciate the magical wonders gifted to us each and every day from our beautiful Mother Earth – how can we possibly expect our children to feel connected to nature; to have an intimate relationship with the natural world?

“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.” – Rachel Carson

The Joy of Learning

One of the most exciting aspects of playing and learning in nature for a child, is the freedom to find and explore nature’s treasure and experience and capture the magic in their own unique way.
